First spin of the new purchase 

Nice find! Have to admit that I bought myself the same(?) white LP stand that Pim has, but my setup is not very suitable for nice pictures...

I just lean them against the dust shield. It doesn't work for gatefolds, though.

I've been taking these for a few years and posting them on Twitter. Since I've started trying to wean myself off social media I thought I could post them here instead.

His 1987 Blue Note record is quite accessible and quite perfect, imo!

I'll check it out. Thanks.

That Earl Hines / Budd Johnson record is sooooo good. . .  and that Brotherhood of Breath LP is too.  ;)

Yeah, I kind of checked out around then, too.  Not sure why.

One album I need is Blue Valentine.  I love that tune "Kentucky Avenue."

That's probably my favourite of them all. 'Christmas from a hooker in Minneapolis' is genius, pure Waits.

I think I began to lose interest because the rock element began to predominate a bit more.

Rough Trade in the UK released James Blood Ulmer’s  ‘Are you glad to be in America’ on 7” in 1980. 7” releases on RT had been of a punky persuasion prior to that so this release was v progressive. Was very trendy at the time, I recall.

I remember that too. The Blood Ulmer album of the time was often found amongst post-punk collections

I bought the Rough Trade LP when it came out. The buzz was hot and there was no indication that American labels were going to put it out. The whole "No Wave" scene was pretty fringey to begin with, and Ulmer was in on it pretty much because he was there, if you know what I mean. Barriers were being disregarded, Venn Diagrams were expanding, interesting possibilities were beginning to form. 

The Rough Trade mix is still my preferred, have the punch and jab of it's time. But it's a good record in any mix

Interesting. In the Uk the no wave thing wasn’t that popular so Blood Ulmer was marketed by Rough Trade as punk funk, slotting in with other UK bands of the time like A Certain Ratio, Pigbag, Pop Group, Rip Rig and Panic. Powerful record and a great picture sleeve on the Rough Trade single. Which I would post but I can’t seem to get round the size restrictions on this site.
